They have less content, but Netflix is seriously full of so much trash content. I've rarely enjoyed a Netflix original movie.

And to think these are supposed to be opposites... When Netflix started doing their own productions, I think everybody understood it was the right business decision - to make them less dependent on big studios. But they spectacularly failed. Apart from a few shows everything else is so generic, there is no character in it. It is as if they were afraid of experimenting, of adding some creativity, of being a failure. Well it's all just uninteresting - it turns our I prefer to watch interesting free content on Youtube than supposedly premium content on Netflix.
Andor was trash. Obi-Wan was trash. She-Hulk started out bad, got better, then killed itself in the last episode.
Most of the marvel stuff has been terrible compared to Netflix's Jessica Jones, Dare Devil, Luke Cage.
Netflix's JJ, DD, LC, Defenders, were also great.
Have you _watched_ recent Netflix content? It's truly abysmal.
It doesn't look like that's right.
My reply was incorrect, and I'm not trying to move the goalposts, but it has to be said that the studios you listed have animated many of what would be considered "western" shows: Ben 10, Spiderman, and Animaniacs show up in the credits for Mua Film and Tiger Animation.
My intent was not to focus on the American aspect as much as the "this is very much a western production, unlike what Netflix is trying to imply." I should have worded it better.
Shocking!
Each of these have various things I liked.
Not that I watched much Netflix original content either, but it’s at least got some variety to it.
She Hulk is an engaging legal comedy in the style of Ally McBeal, with Marvel elements.
Both get better after the first episode.
She Hulk, I hated the first episode, but it kinda came into its own and I ended up really enjoying it, but the last episode absolutely ruined the whole thing for me.
On the other hand, I have zero interest in superhero or starwars content. Disney is basically for children.
Another comment named some of the better recent content, which to my discredit I grouped as abysmal when it was actually decent.
But any of the Sandler movies? Etc. Etc.
But Andor has been great! Obj-Wan was ok.
It’s a slow start though for the first 2 episodes.
And there are a lot of gems in there too.
It is just simple and we have to acknowledge it: people like watching trash shows.
Right now, Netflix just forces you to watch certain shows by showing them front and centre. Conscious UI/UX choices to mask limited selections.
Say what you will about traditional networks, they have occasionally have executives with eyeballs who watch things and say "this show sucks and needs to be fixed" or "this show is much better than it looks and may succeed with a bit more attention".
For some reason Netflix seems to think it’s 2009 and they’re still untouchable. Like “no one would ever leave us. We’re Netflix. We are streaming”.
And it’s really hurting them.
